Alibre PDM - Simplified, Integrated Data Management

A robust data management solution under your total control. Manage versions, where-used, search, multi-user, and so much more.

Local Deployment

Put the server where you want - data never goes outside your walled garden.

Where-Used

Find everywhere a component is used to gain insight into the impact of changes.

Version & Rollback

Create versions of files and roll back to previous ones to undo changes.

For All File Types

Put anything into Alibre PDM - from CAD data to PDFs to PowerPoint.

Search

Create complex filter queries to find files based on many criteria.

Check In & Lock

Check in files to increment their version. Lock to prevent others from checking in.

Work Offline

Cache files from the PDM server to work locally, even if not connected to PDM.

Robust Metadata

Use Classes and Properties to build out robust, data-driven concepts.

Move / Duplicate / Rename

No more broken references due to Windows File System.

Describe your files with rich, customizable metadata

Each business is unique, and the kinds of things you may want to keep track of might require customized metadata structures. With Alibre PDM you can build out these concepts to substantially enrich your data.

A data-driven approach allows you to optionally choose values from a dropdown list, ensuring high levels of data integrity.

Manage CAD data and any other file type

Alibre PDM makes managing CAD files a breeze, but its power extends metadata and versioning capabilities to any file type such as PowerPoint, PDF, Word, etc. This lets you manage all your supporting design documents, or even to go as far as to manage things like invoices. 

Version and Rollback

You might find that you want a previous version of a file or design. With Versioning and Rollback, you can easily view previous versions and rollback a design to a target version.

Find files fast

Robust filtering lets you find files based on their metadata, and you can build out compound filters to really drill down - for example perhaps your supplier's sandblasted finish quality has gone way down and you want to figure out all the affected parts so you can find a new supplier.

Move, Duplicate, and Rename Easily

When using CAD software on the Windows File System, data is particularly prone to messing up when files are moved or renamed from the file system because design references aren't updated. This is a thing of the past with Alibre PDM.

Local PC or LAN Deployment

Deploy the PDM Server software on your CAD PC for the easiest setup, or make PDM Server available to multiple users on a LAN or over the Internet via a secure VPN. Your data is always under your total control.
